Join us in Detroit for a day of cheese education and networking with industry peers.

Join us at Detroit City Distillery for Counter Culture, a trade-only event that connects cheesemakers, importers, mongers, and buyers in an interactive, educational setting. The day features intensive, full-day sessions with ample opportunity to talk one-on-one and network with your industry peers. You will hear from presenters who will tell you their unique story of origin, people, process, and of course taste!

In addition to the educational content, your ticket includes access to an after-hours Cinco de Mayo party at The Whiskey Factory from 6:00 PM–10:00 PM, featuring a grazing table, and a chance to connect with fellow attendees and presenters in a more relaxed setting. Counter Culture attendees will receive entry plus one drink ticket.

$5 from each ticket will be donated to a local charity supporting food access.

Presenters include:

  • Le Gruyere AOP
  • Vermont Creamery
  • The Fine Cheese Company
  • Milton Creamery
  • Maker to Monger
  • Comte
  • Appenzeller
  • Beemster
  • Isigny Sainte-Mere
  • Kingston Creamery
  • Neal's Yard Dairy & Essex Street Cheese
